took out the flash from the jews dead bodies and the body fat to manufacture cleanining soap, needless to say there were other human experiments, like what dr. Mengale did, cutting organs without anesthetized the man woman or a child, in full awakness status, throwing babies of trains, in Italy the natzis hanged people off bridges in venice, all the Italian comunity got exterminated, also the greek, exterminated, 6,000,000 jews died in the war.
32. Why compare Israelis to Nazis?
JMK ,   NYC   (06.25.09)
There have been thousands of wars in history. Why compare the victims of Nazis to Nazis? There are probably a hundred going on right now are they also compared to Nazis? Why not choose Americans, or the British or Japanese, why choose Nazis? To choose Nazis only exposes how human being are so so limitedf intellectually.
33. He is the Nazi. Israel should level his house.
Hashem   (06.25.09)
He is inciting to murder Jews. Israel should launch an air strike on his families house when they are all home

35. Valid comparison?
Joo ,   Eurabia   (06.25.09)
So, can compare this professor to imbecile. This is my point of view and not assault other professors, right?
36. Incompetence of "professor" Robinson.
Benjamin Stark ,   Melbourne, Australia   (06.25.09)
I am a child Holocaust survivor and I am autraged with the decision of the University of California regarding the incompetent actions of the so-called professor Robinson. Comparing the Gaza offensive with the Holocaust is not only a "hate spam", as your jewish students mildly said, but a crime. "Professor" Robinson doesn't have the slightest idea what Nazism was all about. Having on the paylist of the University a "professor" like Robinson doesn't do a great deal of prestige to the University.
37. to #32 cause people like him knows
ghostq   (06.25.09)
it's sensitive subject and it hurts the most to jews when forign person mention it, to hurt jews the most. much like the anti semetic claim that jews use blood of chritians children in pass over, not only jews don't do that it forbidden to jewish to be anywhere neer blood, cause blood is unholy.
38. Boycott the UC system in toto
steve from Raleigh   (06.25.09)
The only sane response is for ALL US Jews to boycott the UC system, withdraw from enrollment and pull all funding from the UC system.
39. #29, little bit hard to do when you are dead
Danny   (06.25.09)
or are you the other kind of denier who just thinks that 3.5 million Polish Jews "disappeared" at the same time as WW2?

41. UCSB another Irvine
Hinda ,   SF Bay Area - Calif   (06.25.09)
Another public educational institution showing that California's Regents (the people who decide who will get the charter and who will not) seems to be blind as to the anti-semitism that DOES exist in the state's higher educational institutions. It also exists in the lower educational institutions too - as my daughter who just recently graduated from high school was subjected to - which I have been fighting against for most of her educational life. Had there been a good Jewish home school program available --I would have opted for that.
42. not surprising in any way. many bush affiliates
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (06.25.09)
and proteges still in authority and holding influential posts in defense establishment and academia. All Jewish Israelis need to aware these minions of the republican party are working feverishly to vilify Israel and "set the conditions" for subduing what they call the 51st state you need to know it is the evangelical wing's 21st century "manifest destiny" just two days ago saw official correspondence in reference to Yisrael Beiteinu transliterated as "Jewish Home" the transliteration was made in a very "negative and patronizing tenor" on a policy setting "important correspondence" if inertia and momentum can be reversed on this animus or "primal detestation" toward the "Jewish State" or the Jewish culture is beyond my analytic capability-- Ironically I find myself turning to prayer these days. Obama retained way too many of these bush dominionist appointees and they are working overtime "greasing the wheels" They are determined to subdue Israel or as Palin says Is-reel, she the cherished moron.
43. #31 the fear of false in one thing, false in everything
observer   (06.26.09)
soap bars distributed by German authorities in Jewish ghettos and camps bore the impressed initials "RIF," which many took to stand for "Rein judisches Fett" or "Pure Jewish Fat." (It did not seem to matter that the letters were "RIF" and not "RJF.") That was really: "Reich Center for Industrial Fat Provisioning" ("Reichsstelle fur Industrielle Fettversorgung"). These rumors spread so widely in 1941 and 1942 that by late 1942 German authorities in Poland and Slovakia were expressing official concern about their impact. Jewish soap was given important legitimacy at the main Nuremberg trial, because an actual sample of soap supposedly made from corpses was submitted in evidence. in 1946, in the small Romanian city of Folticeni twenty boxes of soap were buried in the Jewish cemetery with full ceremony and complete funeral rites. This soap had been found recently in a former German army depot. On the boxes were the initials RIF, "Pure Jewish Fat." These boxes were destined for the Waffen-SS. The wrapping paper revealed with completely cynical objectivity that this soap was manufactured from Jewish bodies. In April 1990, professor Yehuda Bauer of Israel's Hebrew University, regarded as a leading Holocaust historian, as well as Shmuel Krakowski, archives director of Israel's Yad Veshem Holocaust center, confirmed that the human soap story is not true. The Simple fact that Jewish soap story emerged in the early years of WWII, denotes that it was not but war propaganda,
